Ok so the dude comes out with something 8 months into the year... and you've been hot since day one. Your buzz is legitimate and his is based off of the public persona that he is reshaping his life. All of his moves are publicity stunts and I guess it's working but it's a shame cause you're buzz and credibility is due to your music and your personality.

Ughh Oliver, you might have no comment on this, but let me just say that Drake has done way more than Kanye this past year, he should have the #3 or even the #2 spot. He's done more than Jay this year too. Kanye just started coming out with new music, and his GOOD Friday songs have been great, but Drake has been putting out music all this year, his songs and features are all over the radio, he's done a tour with no album out, his debut sold a million copies, and he's currently on a tour that's almost completely sold out. Based off this year, Drake should be before Ye. Buut like I said before, this list has Waka Flocka on as one of the hottest MCs...so I can't take it seriously. *Ye shrug*

WOWWW!! they got their numbers mixed up O.ODrake so DESERVED spot #3 WOW KANYE is so egotistical and self centered and rude ... while DRAKE is an AMAZING preformer, person and actually TALENTED!..... Drake donates money from his concerts to organizations ... and Kanye tries to degrade other peoples success -.- *cough* taylor swift *cough*

In terms of performance...agreed. as far as lyrics and being an actual "MC" Drake killed Kanye the moment he stepped in! Just got to have that WOW! factor when he performs. Enough of the "free weezy" speech, hes out soon im there for him not to hear a rant. so cool it and let me hear the lyrics instead.;)

o hell nah cocky much? fuck that shit. drake should have won that shit,.BULLSHIT drake been workin his ass off while this asshole, who always wanna steal the spolight been sittin on his ass for some time. fuck that drake should have gotten that spot. UGH SMH

Happy B-day yo... my opinion probably doesnt matter, but i cant put any artist on a list and compare them... thats just wrong its like saying Van Gogh is better than Michelangelo... too many variables ... biggest drizzy fan since day one but you have to respect other artist like yeezy when he does things like this... http://kanyewest.com/ ... watch this video...

LMFAO i watched this today and laughed. this is beyonnnndddd ridiculous. em #1? come on now...... i mean def in the top 5 but notttt #1. and drake #3 then moved down to 4 because of KANYE?!?!?!?!?!?!!! kanye is a cocky arrogant little bitch who isnt nearly as hot as drizzy. and i mean that in every aspect of the word. DRAKE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> KANYE annnyyyyyyydayyyyyy. happy birthday drizzy we love you <3

Who the fcuk are they!? Who gives a fcuk what they think!!! Set up a poll and see what the fans think. Kanyes a genius and I love him but he's been MIA for sooo damn long, I forgot his name for a sec. Let me tell you ladies are all about Drake!!!! Prove them wrong!!!!

wtfffff!? KANYE? NEVERRRRR!. drizzy drake, your killling em' out there. and i went to your concert on october 12th in st.louis and let me say, it was the second best concert i've ever been to. kanye west, can't sing. can't dance. can't act. and oh HE CAN'T EVEN RAP. its all weak-ass shit that is dumb as hell. your music relates to people, and gives us something to get hype to. so fuck the haters, and keep doing yo thing! cause baby you da best! :) p.s. happpy birthday! much love<3

Huge Drake fan from day one. they are two of the greatest ever lyrically, but I think Kanye's better than Drake because he's more versatile. People across the world know about Kanye more than they know about Drake. Drake is unfortunately less known internationally. You got to show respect to Kanye, last year he dug his own grave, and he's up there again.

ok, i have a maaaajor problem with that list. why the hell is wack f*ckin lame up there? and Weezy at 8??? no lie, Kanye can hit on some tracks but i can go on and on off Drizzy. the thank me later album, the countless mixtapes. drake delivers and works hard at what he does, Kanye is just a over paid clown. But it's all good, cuz we all know Drake stands for do right and kill everything

Drake is hot right now and will be for a long time. hes always keeping it interesting and yeah , I agree kanye showed up out of no where over the past two months and yeah hes good, but drake keeps it amazing all year round. allllll yeaaaarrrrrrrrr

I think the whole list needs to be redone anyway cause to me MCs are based on longevity and making songs at any point in time and its still hot not the here and now.I'm a Drake fan but he is still really fresh in the game and young eye candy for girls. SO sorry I know some of yall are going to hate me for that but its true he still needs to show that through time he is still srtiving to be the greatest rapper alive. Its just like that DIVA SHOW katey perry and rhianna are on it, give me a break

Drake has definetly blown this year up! however its greatest MCs of all time, when drake has put in the amount of work that Kanye has and produced hits YEAR after Year then he can move up. For his first year being #4 aint bad.

im a bigger fan of drake by far BUT i think kanye has one thing over him and that is his artistic visions. he pulls out stops that people dont expect. Although I do believe as an artist it is your responsibility to build your credibility from your music and from your character. Kanye is lacking because half of his buzz thrives on this egotistic persona. drake has impeccable charisma and loads of charm. i think drake should take this feedback and do a collab with kanye. since the two are so close in comparison they could take the feedback and blow people away. then i would like to hear more of drake and cudi together. love you since your mixtapes drake, you never fail to impress. <3

Some of you are confusing the list title. This list was Hottest MCs of 2010. Not greatest of all time. Therefore, you can understand some who say how did Ye beat Drake when Ye just started his 2010 year half way through it. Now if you believe what he's doing now is better than what Drake has consistently done since 09 or even 08, fine that's your opinion.But if you are positioning who was hot in a 12 month span and Ye was active in only 4 in those 12, him at #3 makes no sense.

i have a problem with all of these "lists". They're really irrelevant to me. No one will agree & of course everyone has their personal favorite rapper so... Why bother with a list? You don't get any money from being #1.

Great post! I would have to agree with the round table on this one. Don't get me wrong, I love Drake's music, but he still has growing to do as an artist, and I doubt he'd disagree with me. Kanye is reaching a plateau in his career after years of honing his unique sound an style, so let him have it (#3 spot). Drake's shining moment isnt here yet, but when it is, we will definately be dazzled. The best is yet to come, Im sure of it.

fuck this show wayne as 7 and drake 4??? these guys dont know shit about hip-hop. kanye west is an entertainer yeah but hes got wack beats and meaningless lyrics. kanyes never had a rave about him drakes the hottest in the game PERIOD.

hahaha.thats actually hilarious.what has kanye come out with this year? i mean, good artist. but drake is killing it around here so, they need a reality check. that's all.not even just saying it cause i'm a fan or whatever...lyrically, charismatically, and emotionally he's the one who brings it.done

Drake! chin up!! Dont think too much about one video. Just remember to keep on doing what you're doing. Dont compare yourself to others cause you have your own style and way but its okay to look at them once in a while to fight for it. have a great birthday :)

At the end of the day it really doesn't matter what they think. As long as the fans continue to enjoy his music and Drake stays true to himself. It's not fair or necessary to compare Kanye who's been around longer and isn't exactly even doing the same type of music Drake is going forSMH at the guy who said Drake doesn't have charisma

The fact that they consider Flame to be in the top ten says too clearly that the whole list is bogus. Granted, Kanye and Drake are both hot, and them going head to head, hell, they could have done a whole show on that. And Kanye edges Drake out for overall package simply because his performaces aren't quite there yet. But really? The way they even do this list is garbage.

This is bullshit. Kanye is higher than Drake? Based on what? I'm not saying Drizzy should be number 1, but realistically he is number 2.

But hey, who cares about MTV and their list. 10 people who are choosing that are so ignorant so I wouldn't even worry.

You are much higher on people's list, that's all that matters. At the end of the day, music is not about picking who's the best. Entertaining and helping people get better in their lives is far more important.

well thats just a big pile of poo! kanye shouldn't of been 3rd! his music isnt as good as drakes, he's so big headed which makes his music worse! you can tell this is all rubbish after they put wayne 7th! should of gone drake#1 lilwayne#2 then nicki minaj #3 followed by the rest of young money. anyway, i hope drake had a lush birthday yesterday! <3

Ok Im Gona Say This Cause I Have To Mr West Is Ok I Personally Only Lik A Few Songs He Has Done Because He Seems To Sing About Things He Knows Will Cause Controversy He Is So Arrogant In His Career That He Things He Can Pick A Topic Out A Hat And Make It A Hit Because It Is By Him..Now The Toast For The Doochebags Was Funny But So Arrogant..Where As On The Flipside Drake I Have Been To Two Concerts One N May N NC And One N Sept N Tampa.Drake Is A Whole Nother Level He Sings From His Heart About Real Shit That Ppl Can Relate To No Matter What You R Goin Thru There Is A Song He Has That Says Exactly How U Feel.The Way He Puts Himself Into His Music Makes U Actually Feel As Tho U Kno Him Just Thru His Words Even If U Gettin Crunked Up He Is One Of THE MOST GRATEFUL AND HUMBLE ARTIST I Hav Come Across In A Very Long Time He Knows WHo Has Helped Him B Where He Is And Is Constantly Aknowledging Them.He Unlik Mose Other Artists Does Not Put His Copetition Down He Instead Just Keeps Tryin Harder To Come Back With Something Better.He Doesnt Blame Things He Needs Improvement On Others But Instead Finds Ways To Make Them Better.ex Singing Lessons. He Is 24 (happy birthday) And Comin Off Better And Harder Than Some Of The Ppl That Have Been Doing This For Years. He Must Be Doin Plenty Right Thats What It Means When U Begin Aquiring Haters.As For His Appearence Hes Sexy As Fuck!As For His Performance As I Said I Have Seen Him Twice And You Can See That He Has Fun On Stage He Interacts With The Crowd He Pulls Women Up There To Let Them Now Its Not All About Him...So Fuck Whomever Doesnt Like This Or Him <3 Tiffany Solomon Fuck Anonymous Im All About Drake YMCM Keep Doin U

im sorry but WTF is kanye doin? took his teeth out for diamonds? r u serious? i love his work but all this stupid shit he's been doin (for someone that started rappin wit God in his rhymes) is really makin me doubt this dood. he cant even talk str8. and NO WAY kanye is better than drake. HAPPY belated BIRTHDAY DRIZZ

with all due respect these ppl voting aren't even artists... Kanye is pretty versatile NOW, Drake is EFFECTIVELY Versatile PERIOD. I love Kanye but when he dropped College Dropout he wasnt as versatile or BIG as Drake is NOW...Am I lying?

All I have to say is: 1) I hope you had a great birthday, Drake. 2) The fact that Wacka Flocka Flame is on this list automatically makes it bullshit. 3) The guy who said that even Kanye said that he's scared of Drake and said that Kanye was missing up until two months ago = T.R.U.T.H.

nevermind the ladies, nevermind alll the shit they were talking about....how about what the list is....as far as being an emcee goes, nobody in the game at the moment is touching drake. His bars are consistent, hes got his own style, which the WHOLE game has adopted, and his songs are millions of levels hotter than kanyes songs. i never liked kanye west, but i do say hes stepping it up. THAT BY NO MEANS, MEANS THAT HE IS A GREATER EMCEE THAN DRAKE. PERIOD>

I'm a HUGE Drake fan and been following him from day 1 when he was on flow talkin bout hes startin to rap and I have to say it was fair, in the end you have to look at all the things Drake brings to the table and what Kanye brings to the table. Kanye is more about a world movement and Drake isn't there yet. They looked at the entire picture instead of whats done in the past 3 years and they're totally right Kanye has to be higher than Drake.

half u ppl didnt kno who drake was until 3 years ago, drake is a sick artist but tell me this does drake envision the entire song and video himself or does he get help from others. Kanye is more of an artist, he pictures everything that he wants to make and if it doesnt look like it does in his head then he doesnt put it out. Kanye deserves #3 and drake deserves #4 for now, give drake like a year or 2 and he should b #1 if he doesnt mess up and bcome like soulja boy

I was also appalled at Drake's position on the list. But the most annoying part to me was how high they put Jay, given that he didn't even put out an album and the only success he's had in 2010 was singles from last year and verses on Ye's and Drake's songs. If you just look at his body of work from the year 2010, it's obvious that he isn't putting in the work that any of these other artists are. And for that reason I think it's a serious disservice to the younger mcs below him to just say "Oh yeah, Jay-Z just stayed great from last year." I think a contest between Em, Ye, and Drake for the #1 spot is completely understandable, since two of them have put out commercially successful albums with numerous singles, and the other has been snowballing an unbelievable amount of hype for the past few months surrounding his forthcoming record.

But for Jay to even come close to the top of the 2010 list is just wrong. :/

man you gotta put drake at number 2 right now, b/c he's hotter than kanye right now, yea kanye been out longer but he's music is not on the radio every sec like Drakes, I graduated in may 2009, went to Florida and they were still playing his stuff mad crazy and he keeps putting out hits so like ol girl said, you never really get a break from hearing his music! ( but hey that's what we want!)...LUV YOU DRAKE!

Im not going to be biased because im on your blog,Initially i thought kanye shouldabeen ahead of you then i watched the rest.. thought about it, Jay-z and em didnt deserve it the panelist were just suckin their dick.You owned 2010 pretty much so you shoulda been 1

They're both good, and these are just opinions of certain individuals. Some people will like Kanye, some Drake, some both, and some neither. But Drizzy, 40, Oliver,keep doin your thing, cause it's truly amazing, and I don't know where I'd be without your music. Every word, every beat, e v e r y t h i n g! It just comes together so well. Peace, Love, and Hip-Hop ~ E.

kanye's new found "uniqueness" isnt genuine. when he came out he was just another rapper. but drake has always been different. drake is refreshing & he made me fall in love with hip hop again. in my book drake deserved it over ye.

I dunno why these idiots comparing Kanye and Drake, Drake is wayyyy better, these niggas talkin lost their damn mind i don't give a fuck what ya'll say or think. DRAKE KILLS IT ON EVERYTHING!!!!!! same with wayne case fuckin closed bitches. Kanye will never be #1 on this list they can keep doing this damn show, Kanye will always come in at 4 or 5 or 6 so the dumbasses below can FORGET ABOUT IT :) i'm not saying Kanye ain't talented but i'm saying he ain't go shit on Drake 4real open your ears people.

Well personally Drake is by far my favorite rapper .. he beats Kayne ,period ! and tome they mad a very Big mistake by moving drake down and Kayne up one .. seriously Drake is way better and always will be= )

love yaa Drake <3wish you good luck with your career . #you can only get better = )-Haven .

Never stop trying to be the best and you'll never stop being the best you can be. Inspiring to see people who have it all keep working as hard as they do... guess that's what happens when you love what you do

Drake is doing something lyrically that is absolutely impossible for Kanye to do. Shout out to Kanye for being a well rounded hard worker, but Drake has more than that. Kanye can't touch him in any vocal part of the game. Drake hands down

O.k yes i have to give it up for kanye, but i'm sorry if we are talking about artists that are the best in our time, well...............Drake you got robbed!!!! I don't feel that he should have moved up past you although, just as some constructive criticism i have heard that your shows could be better.I know that as an artist you strive to be better. So i would say thats an area to work on being better in. But even still you should not be behind Kanye. Just my humble opinion........ any ways keep your head up!!! Keep striving to be better!!!

beauty about Drake is that he says the things you always think but never say. he puts into words the emotions and thoughts you didn't realize were relevant until they struck a cord with you. theres this honesty, and maturity in the way that he presents himself, but theres a mystery there. he tells you so much, but at the same time you still know so little.

The thing I understand DRAKE is that he is real no gimmicks. What a most enjoy about this individual is that he is a real person, a real human being. Not an actor or a RAPPER, he is authentically confident n believes in who he is in his own skin and isn't afraid to express it. Infact it's how he expresses his thoughts and feeling in his music is what's got me soo excited to see him live.
